[Steppes] Bare tummies and religion

[chiara]

The pattern is insanely simple. As I said before, I can post one on my
costuming site if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

BTW, the ones at Fabric World are only 7.00 and the fit is very good
already.

: The "crop top" is called a choli. :)  Folkwear has a really good
multisized pattern for them (crop top version).
